Two recent developments suggest how familiar properties of gravity and matter may emerge from the quantum geometry that underlies loop quantum gravity. In everyday situations, and even in current ...

Work reveals new ways to understand and manipulate electrons in materials. MIT physicists, in collaboration with colleagues, ...

Recent research has explored various extensions and applications of noncommutative geometry to enhance our understanding of particle physics and to propose new models that could unify existing ...

For the first time ever, scientists have managed to snap a picture of an electron’s shape while it moves through a solid.

Geometric optics is a confusing subject for many physics students, who often first encounter the subject in introductory college physics classes. Traditional instruction in geometric optics is not as ...

Rice University physicist Emilia Morosan is part of an international research collaboration that has been awarded multimillion-dollar funding from The Kavli Foundation to develop and test ...

Why Trust Us? By hot swapping similar ideas, scientists built a model of quantum geometry that they can actually measure. The result shows how the spherical orbit of an electron qubit acts outward ...

Our recent work in this area spans a diverse range of topics, including superoscillations (the physics and mathematics of functions ... spinning-top illustrating adiabatic stability and geometric ...

(Warning: Students cannot receive credit for more than one of Math 112 or Math 132) Concepts covered in this course include: methods of integration; applications of the integral to geometry, physics, ...

That work, too, appeared in Nature Physics. In the current work, the team adapted ARPES to measure the quantum geometry of a kagome metal. Kang stresses that the new ability to measure the quantum ...
